reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a distilled or deionized

water blank. Then follow the above procedure to perform the test on a distilled or

deionized water sample. This test result is the reagent blank. Subtract the reagent

blank from all subsequent test results of unknown samples. It is necessary to

determine the reagent blank only when a new lot number of reagents is obtained.

UDVs from opened pouches should be used promptly. Store unused vials from

opened pouches in the Foil Storage Bag (9467) to extend the shelf life of the

reagent. Generally, UDVs stored in the bag should be used within 10 days if the

humidity is less than 50% and within 5 days if humidity is greater than 50%. The Foil

Storage Bag contains a desiccant pack.
